Biostatistical Support
The Office of the SVPR provides biostatistical support to Downstate faculty, based on the research project and methodology. Our office strongly recommends consulting with a biostatistician as early as possible, preferably at the conception stage of the project, and not after data collection.

- Extended support in the form of Research Partnerships
Support over the lifecycle of a research project as a research partnership may be requested either with Dr. Arigbede and Dr. Weedon. They can also be listed as a co-investigator. In such cases, they will work as members of the research team assisting with:- Data entry Data manipulation, organization and cleaning
- Basic statistical analysis and analysis of survey data
- Model estimation and post-estimation
- Creating graphs and data visualization of raw data and model output
- Complex statistical analysis and modeling
- Writing reproducible syntax/command files
